Skyrim SE font problem
Hey everyone, I'm sorry, if this was posted a million times ago, but I have no other choice at this moment.
The thing is, SSE, by default, installed itself in Russian. Which I immediately changed into English for better mod compatibility (so that the language is the same everywhere).
Now, whenever I type anything, be it a character name or smth in the console, all I see is blocks instead of letters (I suppose you've heard this many times by now).
Uninstalling SkyUI didn't help, neither didn't removing my font mod (Sovngarde).
Does anyone have ANY solutions to this?
Oh and btw, this was also the reason why I uninstalled my standard Skyrim and "updated" to SE. I didn't play for half a year, and now this happened.
Can anyone help?

First, a warning. Both of the things I'm about to say are fairly blind suggestions, but unless someone comes along with better suggestions they're worth a shot.

1.) Check that English is the setting in the .ini file.

- Navigate to C:\Users\<current user>\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition

- Click on Skyrim.ini

- Find the [General] field. Once there, find the "sLanguage" property and make sure it is set to English. Mine is in all caps (ENGLISH), if that matters
_________

2.) Install the game as English from the start

- Backup your mods

- Uninstall Skyrim Special Edition using this guide for completeness -> https://steamcommunity.com/app/489830/discussions/0/312265589446940121/

- Right-click the uninstalled game in your library

- Click Properties

- In the Language tab, which will probably be blank if the game is uninstalled, select English.

- Install the game.

Also, something to note: the save you have where you've taken mods out is now likely to be unstable from your removing them. I would recommend starting a new game.

Just tried both, didn't fix
I've also found some info that this bug WAS reported to Bethesda, but they discarded this as "an unimportant bug" and don't do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Can this rly be true? I paid money for the game and can't have their support fix it?
